The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Elder Zhu stood in the center of the main hall and saw Shen Yifei and three women sitting around a table with wine and dishes on it, and the group was toasting each other.

He was so angry he almost choked.

He stood in the square in the sun all morning until his legs went numb, while the other people were inside drinking and eating meat.

"Sect Leader Shen really has quite the airs," Elder Zhu said through gritted teeth.

Shen Yifei picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and without even lifting his eyelids, asked, "Who are you?"

"Elder of the Golden Crow Sect, Zhu Fugui."

"Oh, Elder Zhu, was that you who was calling from outside just now?"

"It is I. I am here on the orders of the Sect Master to deliver an invitation to the Tianyan Sect." Elder Zhu took out a jade slip from his storage bag. "The Demon Extermination Alliance Conference will be held at the Golden Crow Sect in one month. All sects in the world will gather to discuss the grand plan of exterminating demons. Sect Master Shen is requested to attend."

Shen Yifei didn't look at him, nor did he ask anyone to take the jade slip; he continued drinking.

Elder Zhu's hand, holding the jade slip, froze in mid-air, and his face twitched several times.

As a dignified elder of the Golden Crow Sect, with a cultivation level at the early stage of the Mahayana realm, he was treated with utmost respect wherever he went in the cultivation world. But today, he was first left out in the square to bask in the sun all morning, and then treated like air in the main hall.

"Sect Leader Shen, this invitation was personally ordered to be delivered by you. What kind of attitude is this?"

Shen Yifei put down his wine glass and finally looked up at him.

"Elder Zhu, you came to deliver the invitation. I didn't say I wouldn't accept it, did I? What's the rush?"

"Then you can accept it."

"I didn't say I wouldn't accept it, but I didn't say I'd accept it now either. I haven't finished my drink yet, can't you let me finish it first?"

Elder Zhu's lips twitched twice. He slammed the jade slip on the table. "The invitation is here. Whether you go or not is up to you. But let me remind you, the sect leader said that this alliance conference concerns the fate of all people. Anyone who doesn't go is colluding with the demons. The Golden Crow Sect will be the first to wipe out their entire family."

Shen Yifei laughed upon hearing this. "Elder Zhu, are you threatening me?"

"This is not a threat, but a reminder. The Golden Crow Sect is now the number one sect in the world; you should be aware of that."

Shen Yifei leaned back in his chair, let out a hiccup, and said, "The Golden Crow Sect is the best in the world, what does that have to do with me?"

"What does it matter? Hmph! Your Heavenly Evolution Sect has only just been established, and its foundation is unstable. If you offend the Golden Crow Sect, how long do you think your sect can last?"

Elder Zhu spoke bluntly, and he didn't believe Shen Yifei wouldn't understand.

Shen Yifei stood up and walked to Elder Zhu.

The two looked at each other. Elder Zhu was half a head taller than him, looking down at him with a disdainful smile on his lips.

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is nothing more than an ant in his presence.

"Elder Zhu, I understand everything you're saying. But," Shen Yifei changed the subject, "when you knocked on my door just now, you used half your strength, didn't you?"

Elder Zhu chuckled, completely unconcerned.

"The restrictions on that door were set up by someone at the Tribulation Transcending stage. I already knew there was a Tribulation Transcending stage expert on Mount Cangwu—Gu Yunyan, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion! One isn't enough!"

Shen Yifei nodded. "You're right, one isn't enough."

Elder Zhu's lips curled up. "Good to know!"

Shen Yifei returned to his seat, took out two top-grade pills from his ring, and said, "Little guy, come out and eat!"

The little monster opened its eyes, sniffed, and jumped off the lid of the Cauldron of All Things. Shen Yifei tossed the pill forward, and the little monster roared and darted out.

Before the pills even landed, they were swallowed one after another with two crunching sounds.

After finishing eating, the little tail started spinning like a pinwheel again.

As soon as Shen Yifei took out the pills, Elder Zhu recognized that they were extraordinary. He was a knowledgeable person and recognized that they were two top-grade pills.

Although he couldn't tell what kind of pill it was, the Golden Crow Sect's alchemy room hadn't produced a single pill of this quality in years. This kid was actually using it to feed a pet, like feeding it beans.

"Sect Leader Shen, what a generous gesture!" Elder Zhu said sourly.

Upon hearing Elder Zhu's voice, the little monster turned its head to look at Elder Zhu and Zhou Heng, and sniffed the air hard!

Elder Zhu felt extremely uncomfortable under their gaze. "What are you looking at?"

The little monster took a step forward, its nose almost touching Elder Zhu's crotch.

Elder Zhu jumped back a step. "Shen Yifei, do something about this beast!"

Shen Yifei laughed heartily, "It smelled a scent it likes, which means it likes you!"

The little monster moved closer, this time targeting Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng turned pale with fright. He was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so he couldn't detect the little monster's aura, but his instincts told him that this thing was not to be trifled with.

"Elder, this..."

Elder Zhu pulled Zhou Heng behind him, black flames condensing in his palm without being released. "Shen Yifei, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for the Golden Crow Sect today?"

Shen Yifei waved his hand, "Little thing, come back."

The little monster tilted its head, looked at Shen Yifei, then at Elder Zhu, mumbled something, and turned back to Shen Yifei's side.

Before lying down, he glanced back at Elder Zhu's crotch, a hint of regret in his eyes.

However, although it lay down, its whole body was tense, waiting for Shen Yifei's command at any moment. It hadn't eaten such a nourishing food in a long time.

Elder Zhu suddenly remembered the Wu Xingyun brothers. The last time these two returned from the Ten Thousand Mountains, their genitals were missing! Although it was a secret, he still knew some things about them!

Is it...

Thinking of this, Zhu Fugui couldn't help but shudder.

No, we can't stay here any longer. If we delay any longer, my balls will be in danger!

Elder Zhu took a deep breath, turned his gaze away from the little monster, and looked back at Shen Yifei.

The young man sat there, holding a wine glass in his hand, a smile on his face, a smile as radiant as Maitreya Buddha. But Elder Zhu couldn't help but feel that the smile was off; there was an indescribable sinister glint in his eyes.

"Sect Master Shen, the invitation has been delivered, and so has the message. I shall take my leave." Elder Zhu cupped his hands in greeting and turned to leave.

Zhou Heng followed behind, his steps so fast they were almost jogging.

"Elder Zhu, take care. We won't see you off." Shen Yifei called out from behind.

Elder Zhu didn't even turn his head, striding out of the main hall. When he reached the plaza, the flying boat was still there. He stepped onto it, and Zhou Heng followed.

"Hurry up and go."

Zhou Heng activated the flying boat, which took off and lurched as it passed through the protective mist, almost knocking Elder Zhu off his chair.

Elder Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief after the flying boat left Cangwu Mountain.

Zhou Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Elder, that kid is too arrogant."

Elder Zhu didn't speak, but leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

He was thinking about those two top-grade pills from earlier.

That kid definitely had more than just those two pills in his storage ring; look at how casually he took them out—like he was taking out candy.

The Golden Crow Sect's top-grade pills are all kept as treasures, locked away in the storeroom. This kid, on the other hand, uses them to feed his pets.

Zhou Heng spoke again, "Elder, how are we going to explain this to the Sect Master when we get back?"

Tell the truth.

"Tell the truth? Say that Shen Yifei left us standing in the square all morning, fed the dogs top-grade pills, and almost unleashed them to bite us?"

Elder Zhu opened his eyes. "That's not a dog."

"What is that?"

"I don't know either." Elder Zhu closed his eyes again.

The thought of the little monster made his balls clench, and he secretly felt relieved.

"Luckily I ran fast."
